South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Johannesburg | 17/3/13 | South African Innings

[dhump]

what the hell is with fielding.

 

[Sledger]

What?

Hair combed nicely and a great parting.

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Why is Afridi playing? He does not take a wicker. He has limited control. He cannot contribute with the bat when it matters. Apart from patting the back or butt of the bowlers and creating some excitement among teenagers, he brings nothing to the table.

 

[dhump]

Partnership 52 of 39

 

[ViciousMachine]

51 partnership from 37 balls for these two.... scoring at over 8 an over.
And this was when Pak was dominating.


Need a wicket extremely badly

Ajmal should be bowling....

No lefties for hafeez

 

[Sledger]

Easy runs here.

 

[Munna]

They are doing it very easily now


Thats not good kaptaan saab!

He will be ok in wc 2015 . Dont worry

 

[iHammad]

Easy singles

 

[Badsha]

Pakpassion = nothing but knee jerk fans.


One good over from Afridi = Wow, what a bowler. Amazing.

 

[saiyan0312]

He has been under a black magic spell acc to jang news

Well the spell is not lifted yet...

amla who started from 45 strike rate is not batting at a hundred strike rate.... we let him get away with it an dnow they are building pressure on us..

56 partnership

 

[Osman]

55 runs in last 7 overs thanks to crap of afridi and wahab

While Afridi has not bowled well today, he bowled well last game.

But my problem is Wahab Riaz. RSA were struggling against BOTH pace bowlers.

5 overs - 34 runs.

And even struggling, Afridi bats better than Wahab.

 

[Sledger]

Some drift there.

51 partnership from 37 balls for these two.... scoring at over 8 an over.

is more to do with wahab and afridi.....AB and Amla haven't even looked to put the foot down

 

[Munna]

Dot ball from lala!

Yay?

 

[BoomBoom_Nazir]

Kamran didnt drop a catch did he?

 

[CalculatedRisk]

Pakpassion = nothing but knee jerk fans.


One good over from Afridi = Wow, what a bowler. Amazing.


One bad over = He's *****.

Knee jerk? Afridi has been bowling utter tripe for a year now.

 

[wazzy]

This is all about positive cricket - who would have thought they lost two wickets at 50 runs.

 

[Sledger]

Fifty to Amla.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Johannesburg | 17/3/13 | South African I...

100 for SA and 50 for amla

 

[dhump]

Kamran didnt drop a catch did he?

He did he did dropped a catch of Amla.

 

[saiyan0312]

i remember a certain someone saying they were weak to leg spin.... afridi is not his third odi and has not taken a wicket.

Afridi look sharp and bowl them out...

100 up for saffers with just 2 down and we are chasing. chaseable score by these TTF is 199... they reach 200 then i dont think we will win.

 

[WebGuru]

Here comes Mr Consistency after the retirement of Mr Cricket

well done Hash

 

[JibranAnsari]

TBF , wahab created two chances. 2/34 in 5 would not look bad.

 

[Munna]

Aur karo lollypop catch drop

Ab ro rahe hain

 

[soso_killer]

Mr Consistent gets to his 50, world class player and comfortably the best in the world. Now get a ton!

 

[Sledger]

Close.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Johannesburg | 17/3/13 | South African I...

He did he did dropped a catch of Amla.

He didnt he was practcing for wc 2015

 

[Indiafan]

While Afridi has not bowled well today, he bowled well last game.

But my problem is Wahab Riaz. RSA were struggling against BOTH pace bowlers.

5 overs - 34 runs.

And even struggling, Afridi bats better than Wahab.

Last match he was bowling when SA were 5, 6 down and couldn't take a single wicket. He has bowled 37 overs without a wicket. Worrying signs?

 

[saiyan0312]

Kamran didnt drop a catch did he?

Him and hafeez are out their to make sure amla reaches his hundred..... both dropped catches...

 

[Sledger]

Great play by these two.

 

[ViciousMachine]

Good over, just 3. Need to build momentum.

Bring in Ajmal too!! Already into 23rd over and no Ajmal? What is Misbah doing? Planning to bowl him 10 in a row from 30 to 50?

 

[Sledger]

104/2.

 

[saiyan0312]

TBF , wahab created two chances. 2/34 in 5 would not look bad.

Yeah wahab must be thinking uh crap it was the destroyer of danish kaneria career in the back and i am next.

 

[BoomBoom_Nazir]

He did he did dropped a catch of Amla.

What over the one hafeez dropped amlas in cricinfo didnt meention it in there commentery

 

[Munna]

TBF , wahab created two chances. 2/34 in 5 would not look bad.

It was more a case of batsman giving us two chances and we refused to take the donation

 

[dhump]

Afridi frustrated.

 

[saiyan0312]

Afridi back.....

 

[ViciousMachine]

Last match he was bowling when SA were 5, 6 down and couldn't take a single wicket. He has bowled 37 overs without a wicket. Worrying signs?

not worrying to me. 8 overs for 24 runs is great no matte the situation. Dont always have to take wickets, especially when we have Ajmal. Just need to support him.

Hopefully Hafeez - Afridi can pull things back, and I never have to hear Wahab Riaz's name again (or at least until he learns some control).

 

[Sledger]

104ks.

 

[dhump]

What over the one hafeez dropped amlas in cricinfo didnt meention it in there commentery

2 balls later.

 

[Justcrazy]

South Africa 106/2

 

[MenInG]

Afridi frustrated.

Afridi back.....

Are these related statements ?

 

[pak4life]

This is bakwaas from Misbah best bowler has not come on yet. 24 overs gone

 

[Sledger]

Afridi is getting good drift but just doesn't have the accuracy he used to.

 

[saiyan0312]

Afridi frustrated.

Not good frustrated off afridi leaks runs... he is not shoib who get wickets as they anger up.

 

[PTI tsunami]

Even if afridi bowls ... he still bowls absolutely pathetic

 

[Leeon1994]

No googly, flipper, Bowling short outside off, Thats Afridi for you.

For indian fans only i think

 

[ViciousMachine]

100% agreed!! Where is Ajmal?????

 

[saiyan0312]

7 runs from the ober... so easy they are rotating strike... i think we will get anoter example of rotation of strike as our middle order will give another example of tuk tuk.

 

[Munna]

Sadly... not a pakistani in yet another batting record list

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Johannesburg | 17/3/13 | South African I...

I am really impressed with these two , beautiful strike rotation , loving it

 

[Sledger]

Too easy for SA now. Need a wicket ASAP.

 

[saiyan0312]

Misbah again showing great captaincy by not bowling ajmal.....

 

[Wazeeri]

Where's Ajmal? x 1 million and one

 

[Sledger]

115/2.

 

[Sledger]

Ajmal on.

 

[saiyan0312]

72 runs partnership... ajmal will come when they will reach a hundred runs partnership.

 

[JibranAnsari]

When was the last time afridi took a wicket in ODIs?

 

[Leeon1994]

When was the last time afridi took a wicket in ODIs?

In the WC 2011 i think, Kidding.

T20 match against India.

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Johannesburg | 17/3/13 | South African I...

When was the last time afridi took a wicket in ODIs?

39 overs ago !

 

[Munna]

And ajmal comes for disaster recovery

Not to impose disaster in the opponents camp

 

[Sledger]

Big turn.

 

[saiyan0312]

Ajmal finally....

 

[JibranAnsari]

39 overs ago !

Brilliant!

 

[wazzy]

When Misbah is batting, one wonders where the next single is going to come from. Whereas when De Villiers and Amla are batting, one wonders where the next dot ball is going to come from - they are so damn good at rotating the strike, amazing

 

[Sledger]

5 taken from the over.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Amla is magical!

 

[castortroy]

Pitch now looks so flat

 

[Leeon1994]

Looks like its all down to our mediocre batting line up again today.

Umar bhai pepsi na peeyain aur cricket na khelain !

 

[saiyan0312]

And ajmal comes for disaster recovery

Not to impose disaster in the opponents camp

That is what a strike bowler who can single handily destroy the opposition is being left to do.. clean up other peoples messes.

 

[dhump]

dont worry guys I did a secret ritual that gives a wicket 80% of times so we will see one of them got out any moment now.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Afridi will take a 5fer today

 

[H2O1]

South Africa vs Pakistan | 3rd ODI | Johannesburg | 17/3/13 | South African I...

Afridi will take a 5fer today

in golf ?

 

[Munna]

Kitni singles rokoge.. har ball pe single niklegi

 

[saiyan0312]

Looks like its all down to our mediocre batting line up again today.

Truth is anything above 199 and we cant chase it....
